Yep!
I agree with Cat...
I shot there years ago with film. I became so awestruck - that at first, I did not know just what to shoot. The G.C. is so damn large that you want to try to get the Whole Thing in One Frame.

Good Luck in your endeavor and trip to the "Big Ditch". :-)

The Panama Canal is "The Big Ditch"...
the Grand Canyon is the holiest spot in the USA.
That said, the best camera/lens is the one you are carrying when you see the shot....as is always the case.
After several trips, my favorite for two rim to rivers, and two rim to rims was my little Konica C35 film camera with a 38mm lens. Only once did I really wish for a long lens (full moon rising from the tip of Mather Point) but I was just cresting the rim on a hike back from Indian Gardens and Plateau Point, and I wouldn't have had as much fun that day while hauling extra gear.
By the way, a trip to Indian Gardens and out to the point makes a really nice picnic and day trip.

I believe some of those have built in card and not removable by user. I think some of those came preloaded with film and you send the camera to Kodak for processing and reload.
The preloaded cameras were the predecessors to the Brownie. The Brownie was the digital revolution!

You can say that again! ;-)
Some really great "classic" Route 66 architecture in Elk City, OK. The kind of gas stations and all that used to make "The Road."
